excitatory amino acids are the amino acids helps in transformation of neurotransmitters or it helps in transmission of synapsis rapidly in brain of mammal. EAA known to be neurotransmitters for Central nervous system.

Excitatory amino acids count may vary from 50’s to 100’s. They are mostly composed of non-protein- amino acids obtained from algae or fungi.

The possible EAAs are Glutamate (Glu) and Aspartate which act as excitatory neurotransmitters in the brain. They get released from neurons where they induce excitation via metabotropic Glu receptors.  

Both glutamate and aspartate having excitatory effect on neurotransmission whereas Gama-amino butyric acid having inhibitory effect on neurotransmission.

Thus, the statement ‘neurotransmitters are chemical brother of gaba’ is indicating the complementary effect of each other.

Compare the boiling points of alcohol, ethers and alkanes and explain one reason for the difference
scoundrel [369]

Alcohols have higher boiling points than do ethers and alkanes of similar molar masses.

<h3>What is meant by Boiling Point ?</h3>

The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid is called the boiling point of the substance.

Approximately boiling point of Ethanol: 78.4°C, ether: 34.6°C, ethanes: 68°C

The reason for the difference is that it takes more energy to separate alcohol molecules then it does to separate alkane molecules and ether molecules.

The OH group in  alcohol allows molecules to engage in hydrogen bonding.

Therefore Boiling point are in the order ;

Alcohol > alkane > ethers

Using the Rydberg formula, calculate the initial energy level when an electron in a hydrogen atom transitions into n= 2 and emit
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

1

Explanation:

Using the Rydberg formula as:

\frac {1}{\lambda}=R_H\times Z^2\times (\frac {1}{n_{1}^2}-\frac {1}{n_{2}^2})

where,

λ is wavelength of photon

R = Rydberg's constant (1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹)

Z = atomic number of atom

n₁ is the initial final level and n₂ is the final energy level

For Hydrogen atom, Z= 1

n₂ = 2

Wavelength = 410.1 nm

Also,

1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m

So,

Wavelength = 410.1 × 10⁻⁹ m

Applying in the formula as:

\frac {1}{410.1\times 10^{-9}}=1.097\times 10^7\times 1^2\times (\frac {1}{n_{1}^2}-\frac {1}{2^2})

Solving for n₁ , we get

n₁ ≅ 1

Fluoride is moderately basic, by far the most basic of the halides. It is a terrible leaving group. Fluoride is many orders of m
TEA [102]

Answer:   Bromide is many orders of magnitude better than fluoride in leaving group ability

Explanation:

As Size of an atom  Increases,  the Basicity Decreases this is because  if we move downwards  from the top of the periodic table to the bottom of the periodic table, the size of an atom increases. As size increases, basicity will decrease, meaning the element  will be less likely to act as a base implying that the element will be less likely to share its electrons.

in the same vein. With an increase in size, basicity decreases, making the ability of the leaving group to leave increase to increase . This can be seen in the halogens going down the group  from

F--- worst

Cl----fair

Br ----good

 I-----excellent

with fluorine having the worst ability to leave than Bromine which is better in terms of the leaving group ability.
